John 14
1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
“Usiruhusu moyo wako kuwa katika mahangaiko. Unamwamini Mungu niamini pia na mimi.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Katika nyumba ya Baba yangu kuna makazi mengi ya kukaa; kama isingekuwa hivyo, ningekuwa nimekuambia, kwa vile ninakwenda kukuandalia mahali kwa ajili yako.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also.
Kama nikienda na kuwaandalia mahali, nitakuja tena kuwakaribisha kwangu, ili mahali nilipo pia nanyi muwepo.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
Mnajua njia mahali ninakoenda.”
5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
Tomaso alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, hatujui mahali unakoenda; Je! Tunawezaje kuijua njia?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Yesu alimwambia, “Mimi ndiye njia, kweli, na uzima; hakuna awezaye kuja kwa Baba isipokuwa kupitia kwangu.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Kama mngeli nijua mimi, mngalikuwa mnamjua na Baba yangu pia; kuanzia sasa na kuendelea mnamjua na mmeshamuona yeye.”
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Philipo alimwambia Yesu, “Bwana, tuonyeshe Baba, na hivyo itakuwa imetutosha.”
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
Yesu akamwambia, “Sijakuwa pamoja nanyi kwa muda mrefu, na bado hunijui mimi, Philipo? Yeyote aliyeniona mimi amemwona Baba; Jinsi gani unasema, 'Tuonyeshe Baba'?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Hamuamini kuwa mimi ni ndani ya Baba, na Baba yu ndani yangu? Maneno ninayoyasema kwenu sisemi kwa kusudi langu mwenyewe; badala yake, ni Baba anayeishi ndani yangu anayetenda kazi yake.
11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
Niamini mimi, kwamba niko ndani ya Baba, na Baba yuko ndani yangu; kadhalika niamini mimi kwa sababu ya kazi zangu hasa.
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Amini, amini, nawaambia, yeye aniaminiye, mimi kazi zile nizifanyazo, atazifanya kazi hizi pia; na atafanya hata kazi kubwa kwasababu ninakwenda kwa Baba.
13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
Chochote mkiomba katika jina langu, nitafanya ili kwamba Baba aweze kutukuzwa katika Mwana.
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it.]
Kama mkiomba kitu chochote katika jina langu, hilo nitafanya.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Kama mkinipenda, mtazishika amri zangu.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (aiōn g165)
Na nitamwomba Baba, Naye atawapa Msaidizi mwingine ili kwamba aweze kuwa pamoja nanyi milele, (aiōn g165)
17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Roho wa kweli. Ulimwengu hauwezi kumpokea yeye kwa sababu haumuoni, au kumjwa yeye. hata hivyo ninyi, mnamjua yeye, kwani anakaa pamoja nayi na atakuwa ndani yenu.
18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
Sitawaacha peke yenu; Nitarudi kwenu.
19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Kwa muda kitambo, ulimwengu hautaniona tena, lakini ninyi mwaniona. Kwa sababu ninaishi, nanyi mtaishi pia.
20 At that day ye shall know that I [am] in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Katika siku hiyo mtajua kwamba mimi niko ndani ya Baba, na kwamba ninyi mko ndani yangu, na kwamba mimi niko ndani yenu.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Yeyote azishikaye amri zangu na kuzitenda, ndiye mmoja ambaye anipenda mimi; na ambaye anipenda mimi atapendwa na Baba yangu, na Nitampenda na nitajionyesha mimi mwenyewe kwake.”
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Yuda (siyo Iskariote) akamwambia Yesu, “Bwana, Je! Ni nini kinatokea kwamba utajionyesha mwenyewe kwetu na siyo kwa ulimwengu?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Yesu alijibu akamwambia, “Kama yeyote danipendaye, atalishika neno langu. Baba yangu atampenda, na tutakuja kwake na tutafanya makao yetu pamoja naye.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
Yeyote ambaye hanipendi mimi, hashiki maneno yangu. Neno ambalo mnasikia siyo langu bali la Baba ambaye alinituma.
25 These things have I spoken unto you, being [yet] present with you.
Nimeyasema mambo haya kwenu, wakati bado ninaishi miongoni mwenu.
26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Hata hivyo, Mfariji, Roho Mtakatifu, ambaye Baba atamtuma kwa jina langu, atawafundisha mambo yote na atawafanya mkumbuke yote ambayo niliyasema kwenu.
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Amani nawapa amani yangu ninyi. Siwapi hii kama ulimwengu utoavyo. Msiifanye mioyo yenu kuwa na mahangaiko, na woga.
28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come [again] unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
Mlisikia vile nilivyowaambia, 'Ninaenda zangu, na nitarudi kwenu.' Kama mngelinipenda mimi, mngekuwa na furaha kwa sababu ninakwenda kwa Baba, kwa kuwa Baba ni mkuu kuliko mimi.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
Sasa nimekwisha kuwaambia kabla haijatokea ili kwamba, wakati ikitokea, mweze kuamini.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
Sitaongea nanyi maneno mengi, kwa kuwa mkuu wa dunia hii anakuja. Yeye hana nguvu juu yangu,
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
lakini ili kwamba ulimwengu upate kujua kwamba nampenda Baba, nafanya ambacho Baba ananiagiza mimi, kama vile alivyonipa amri. Inukeni, na tutoke mahali hapa.
